Reviews

This was a fairly decent story, though most of the characters were one-dimensional. There were some minor editing issues…in the early scenes with Kurt and Delilah, it suddenly mentions a look on Luke’s face and Idaho is not northwest of Spokane. I do give some points for using a Fibonacci sequence. I like that it ends on a positive vibe.

Old Enemies

This story is unique in it's approach. Based on a family of key characters I found the story To be Quite interesting. The importance of a family bond was greatly stressed and highlighted, Something we need more In our country today.

frightening, heartening…mesmerizing read

I really enjoyed this story. The author did an excellent job of not making the focus just the EMP, whip is devastating enough but, also about family and community. There may be hope for this world yet.

I am getting tired of reading poorly edited stories, not to mention ones that include totally unrealistic scenarios. I recognize these post-apocalyptic tales require suspension of disbelief, but that can only take you so far.

I liked the book.

Makes a good read! Good plot. Good characters. Even a true American ending! Everything answered and brought to conclusion.

The end!
